Abstract (en)

The clicker mechanism, comprising a support (10) and a pusher (12), has a spring (14) in the form of a plate of an elastic material, e.g. thin stainless steel, fitted between the pusher and support and having thrust zones (36) at its ends. The spring plate is oval in shape with a V-shaped cross-section, and flexes about its lengthwise axis under the action of the pusher, while being fixed to neither the pusher or support.
